    Trump shrugged off the market reaction on Monday, suggesting to the reporters in the Oval Office that he wasn’t aware of the volatility. “I don’t know. I don’t think about it,” he said.

    Based on his reaction, yes it was completely about stocks. When the hell does he ever act like he is unaware of something

      When he’s done something shady and suddenly “doesn’t recall” every little detail about it while being questioned. Why isn’t this evil fuck in prison?!

      God, imagine if he was telling the truth. The president of the United States doesn’t pay any attention or heed to the financial markets? It’s just as ludicrous a position!

        Nah, conservative and liars always use the “i don’t know” “i don’t remember” “it’s not me” cards. It’s always a lie, they know, they remember, they are responsible.

          Yes, we all know, but in difference to other countries, somehow, you are not immediately fired or fined, if you’re as incompetent as you are not knowing the things you have to know in such a positions.

          Yeah its totally cool to do evil shit and lie about it in an obvious but consistent manner.

          But to suggest to such a criminal’s face that they would LIE about it? Well that’s not appropriate for the news!

        I think that would actually be for the better. A President who cares not for the financial markets, but for the number of hours the average person has to work to afford a house.
